Farioli: “On arrival, I was asked to cut the gap to the other two giants…” | OneFootball

FC Porto’s season begins with four competitions, but the league is the main focus. Do you believe winning the title is mandatory for this season to be fairly assessed? “I’ve said before that we are here to complete a job that has been a long time in the making. We sped up every process, both in the position we are in and in the one we were in in the cups, in order to compete; everything happened faster than we expected. When I arrived, I was asked to close the gap to the other two giants [Sporting and Benfica] after a difficult season, and now we are where we want to be in the League and the Cups, and in the Europa League we came very close to reaching the finals. We still have many points and challenges ahead of us; the focus is on that and on the next match, which will be away, on a difficult ground, against Estrela da Amadora. We are in league mode and we have to prepare in the best possible way for a few very important matches”.
